Description:

A fine individual Victorian detached country character property built approx 1860 enjoying wonderful views, approximately 2.02 acres of grounds, detached two storey outbuilding and a beautiful five bedroom detached family house. Long sweeping driveway approach. Entrance hall, three reception rooms, large open plan breakast kitchen, five bedrooms and two bathrooms. Detached two storey outbuilding offering considerable potential and/or possible conversion, subject to planning permission (currently under application). Fabulous location where properties are continually in demand.

Sandycroft House is located in a truly beautiful part of South Cheshire. The area is renowned for its spectacular rural beauty with the house enjoying a close proximity to the Bickerton and Bulkeley hills and within strolling distance from the Sandstone trail. Moreover, this fine individual detached house stands in grounds of approximately 2.02 acres, has beautiful views and outstanding levels of seclusion and privacy. A viewing is truly essential to fully appreciate the special and rare nature of the location.
The house itself has undergone a comprehensive scheme of refurbishment and improvement in the last nine years. Indeed, later in this brochure a detailed schedule of these works is documented. It is fair to say though that the house is ideal for family occupation. Off a classically elegant entrance hall there are two separate reception rooms, one of which has a wonderful fireplace as its focal point. From the entrance hall a door leads through to the morning room which can be used for a variety of different purposes.

It is however at the back of the house where the ground floor accommodation maximises its impact and practicality. This is provided by an extension that was constructed in 2005 to an excellent standard and has been designed to provide an all in one open plan breakfast kitchen/family room, The beauty of the room is that light floods in from three sides, there is an aspect over both the land to the rear and the two storey former coach house and stable to the side whilst the room itself is beautifully finished and extremely practicable. In addition to space for a large table and chairs, there is also room for sofas, not to mention the comprehensive range of kitchen units and associated appliances. The area as a whole can truly be said to represent the very best in modern day design and finish although still offers prospective purchasers the opportunity to enhance and update certain features so as to suit their own requirements.
At first floor level the five bedrooms and family bathroom are accessed from a very spacious and attractive landing. The playloft is particularly spacious and fully plastered with lighting and feature circular window and presently accessed via a drop down ladder and provides at the absolute minimum very good storage space and at its maximum further living space.

As already mentioned the outside of the property is superb, not only the use of the long sweeping driveway, large landscaped gardens and two paddocks and orchard but also because of the intriguing and aesthetically pleasing two storey brick and slate coach house/stable. The outbuilding is presently only used for storage. Obvious options (subject to planning) include holiday let, dependant relative annexe, children's game area or independent home office but is adequate as stable/tackroom.
The Vendors also rent further land nearby which may also be available to rent to any prospective buyer.

Fullers Moor is a semi-rural hamlet that lies in a very popular part of South Cheshire. The nearby villages offer local amenities including a primary school, tennis courts, golf courses and restaurants. The surrounding countryside is noted for its rural beauty, some of the most picturesque scenery in the area together with close access to nearby Beeston and Peckforton Castles. The location is convenient for daily travel to neighbouring industry and commercial centres including Chester, Nantwich, Crewe, Whitchurch, Wrexham, Manchester, Liverpool and Warrington. Malpas, Tattenhall and Tarporley are nearby villages all of which provide superb day to day amenities. There are also a number of well renowned schools in the area including Kings and Queens schools in Chester, Abbey Gate at Saighton, the Grange School at Hartford and Bishop Heber High School in Malpas which has recently been rated outstanding by Ofsted.
